  • Response to Dorset Local Plan Consultation
    Stourpaine Parish Council – response to Dorset Local Plan consultation This response by Stourpaine Parish Council to the Dorset Council Local Plan consultation has been prepared to focus on aspects of the plan that do or could have an impact on the parish of Stourpaine and its inhabitants. We have not covered many of the more general issues in the plan. Section 1 – Introduction In October 2013, an update to the 2007 Stourpaine Parish Plan was published following a period of extensive consultation and research among the resident population. A range of issues were covered which included asking residents what they liked about living in Stourpaine. A significant proportion of residents (44% of 188 adults responding) stated spontaneously that they considered the surrounding countryside to be very beautiful and access to essential facilities in neighbouring towns is easy. A comprehensive assessment of the landscape and character of parish of Stourpaine is detailed in the Strategic Landscape and Heritage Study for the North Dorset Area, Assessment of land surrounding the larger villages, Prepared by LUC for Dorset Council, October 2019. As stated in the report “This study provides robust and up-to-date evidence to feed into the local plan (the current draft Dorset Local Plan) to help inform the scale, form and location of future development to minimise harm to the landscape, heritage assets and the historic character and setting of the settlements within the North Dorset area”. This report clearly describes the key landscape features of Stourpaine as follows: “The village and its surrounds are located within three different Landscape Character Areas.

    HAMMOON MANOR Guest information Welcome Letter 1. Travel Directions 2. COVID 19 - Your Health & Wellbeing (Important) 3. House Rules 4. Wi-Fi Gadgets & Things 5. Heating & Wood Burner 6. Appliances & Housekeeping 7. Spa hot tub 8. Safety information 9. Food Shopping 10. Eating Out 11. Places to visit 12. Activities 13. Useful Contacts 1 HAMMOON MANOR Firstly, a very big WELCOME to Hammoon Manor and we are sure that you will have a wonderfully relaxing, and peaceful stay with us. Hammoon, sounds so strange to the English ear that one can be forgiven to thinking that it is a small village in the central provinces of India! As it happens, Hammoon Manor was originally gifted to Thomas de Mohun of Moyon in Normandy following his support of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Moyon being a bit of a mouthful for Dorset folk anglicised it over the centuries from the ‘Ham of Moyon’ to ‘Hammoon’. Perfect sense when you think about it. The Manor House as you see it today has changed little over the centuries except for the addition of a few farm buildings’ here and there. And has been described ‘as one of the most picturesque houses in Dorset’. Hammoon Manor Barn where you are staying formed part of the original manor farmyard. In 2019, we converted the barns to luxury holiday accommodation and created courtyard gardens where there had previously been hard standing. We were thrilled with the results – we hope you are! As you probably know you are in the heart of the Blackmore Vale and of course the heart of Thomas Hardy Country.
